I greet you all reading this wonderfully compiled book and all individuals that are directly involved with the business of SMSA, be it in their capacity as partners, clients, spectators, employees or service providers.

Please do enjoy some of your decoded comments that I have the pleasure of also passing on to our staff.

SMSA has planned, managed and delivered more than 105 events in 2017 with over 800 000 spectators in attendance, with these including highly successful sporting, musical and religious activities at facilities under our management. You will agree that this is a monumental achievement!

You will also concur that in the year, SMSA has leapt on to the global stage and grown to be a universally recognised entity with a host of international accomplishments to match.

In this period, we were honoured with the Business Initiative Directions Corporate Award (Gold Category) for Excellency, while the Europe Business Assembly presented us with the Manager and the Business Enterprise of the Year accolades as well as the Europe Business Trading License – both in the United Kingdom.

There has been further SMSA overseas invites with respective trips to Germany and the United States to collect the International Arch of Europe as well as The Bizz Awards, as further recognition for company quality and excellence. It doesn’t end there. At the time of writing, the premier South African football competition, the 2016 Carling Black Label Champion Cup played at the magnificent FNB Stadium, had received a nomination in the Fan Experience of the Year category in the 2017 Stadium Business Awards that will be staged in Ireland. More than anything, this is just rewards to each of the 47 staff members in the SMSA Team because their hard work, dedication and passion has not gone unnoticed.

It also gratitude to the City of Johannesburg and in particular, Dudu Maseko and MMC for Community Development, Nonhlanhla Sifumba, for their continuous motivation and exceptional support during the year.

To South African football giants, Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates, and to Jessica Motaung and Darryl Joselowsky – our friendship remains unscathed. We are proud to associate ourselves with your brands and ever-enthusiastic personnel. Remain the great, humble sporting servants that you are.

I also thank Jaco Beukes from SAIL, Justin van Wyk at Big Concerts, Mark Alexander from the SA Rugby Union, our religious congregations as well as many conferencing and function clients.

Most importantly, it is our spectators and concert goers that deserve our biggest cheer as we strive to serve with quality and excellence at all times. Enjoy our Stakeholder’s Perspective.

70 STADIUM MANAGEMENT SOUTH AFRICA A STAKEHOLDER’S PERSPECTIVE Never invest in any kind of relationship with a company that is not willing to work on itself just a little every day. A company that takes no interest in self-improvement, personal development and growth will also not be inclined to make much of an effort in building a truly meaningful connection with the other partner. A relationship with only one partner willing to do the work ceases to be a relationship. The partnership between the City of Johannesburg and Stadium Management South Africa can only be described as an anathema to this. SMSA has evolved as a company, has contributed to community development, provides a service to the city and still searches for meaningful contributions and opportunities

Siyanda Mnukwa, Director of Sports and Recreation, Community Development, City of Johannesburg

71 STADIUM MANAGEMENT SOUTH AFRICA A STAKEHOLDER’S PERSPECTIVE Thank you very much for the positive contribution and co-operation with us in resolving all informal traders operational issues at the stadiums and your commitment and leadership developmental approach that seek to promote informal traders.

344 STADIUM MANAGEMENT SOUTH AFRICA A STAKEHOLDER’S PERSPECTIVE The greatest opportunity I was ever given is working for Stadium Management SA for I have learned a lot about myself and my limits. Working with this team has made my 5 years seem like just a few months. Not only have I learned the greatest life lessons, but I have also seen the world come to us. The SMSA team always wears a friendly smile despite the amount of work pressures we have with our back to back events. It has been my greatest pleasure being a part of what only others dream of being part of.

Lebo Lepasa, Creditors Administrator, SMSA Employee

345 STADIUM MANAGEMENT SOUTH AFRICA A STAKEHOLDER’S PERSPECTIVE This is just a token of appreciation to all of you for assisting us to pull such a successful event. We had ups and downs trying to meet the clients’ expectations and we made it with your patience and assistance all the time. We had last minute request and had to call for assistance at night and we received it. The SMSA Hospitality department were very patient and delivered with a smile all the time regardless of endless requests. The SMSA Cleaning department made the experience smooth with their cleaners and they attended to the cleaning request immediately. A special thanks to the cleaners that worked in the Presidential suite, they were amazing. Than you to Humphrey for running with us and helping at the end of our event when we had a lost key drama. It is always a pleasure to work with such an efficient team such as the team employed by SMSA.

You have helped me when I asked for your assistance with a personal problem without hesitation, God gave you a talent of being a good person and a good leader. You are an inspiration to all of us not just the staff but people outside of the company as well. You are a great father to me.

471 STADIUM MANAGEMENT SOUTH AFRICA A STAKEHOLDER’S PERSPECTIVE Where do we start? The World is indeed a better place because of people like you who have made this load lighter for us. From the moment we learnt of John’s passing, nothing could have prepared us for the tough days ahead. Despite our heavy hearts, we knew that we faced the huge task of preparing this event to honor the life of our colleague and friend. As the days progressed, it was evident that we were not able to do this on our own. We turned to you for help and the response we got from you was absolutely amazing. You made sure you dropped everything that you were doing and put all your energy towards this event honoring a man that we all cherished and loved. You were there and stood in the gap for us and because of you, we were able to show the world how much, John meant to us. Our hearts are filled with gratitude for all your acts of kindness and pulling us through these past days. Every item on the programme for the memorial really had a personal touch filled with love from you. From at the bottom of our hearts we want you to know that we are truly thankful and are privileged to call you friend. Thank you.

486 STADIUM MANAGEMENT SOUTH AFRICA A STAKEHOLDER’S PERSPECTIVE White elephants. Or an empty shell or calabash, in Soccer City (FNB) Stadium’s case. These were just some of the catchphrases that critics used to describe what they saw as the grim prospects of the stadiums that were built for 2010 Fifa World Cup. The curtain had barely fallen on the greatest sports showpiece on African soil when the scribes pronounced that the stadium would bring unparalleled financial saddles for the host cities. The stadiums were even compared to those in the football wilderness that is the Far East, in the 2002 Korea/Japan World Cup, where some of the stadiums had to be demolished after the tournament. Soccer City Stadium in Johannesburg was, probably for its colossal size, was particularly singled out as typifying “the obscenely” construction costs, in a country grappling with the quandaries of poverty and

487 STADIUM MANAGEMENT SOUTH AFRICA A STAKEHOLDER’S PERSPECTIVE service delivery. Five years later, most, if not all, of the 2010 stadiums continue to host matches and other events on a regular basis, thereby helping generate the much needed revenue to maintain them. In this regard, Soccer City Stadium deserves a special mention. This would not have been possible without the endeavor of Stadium Management SA, the company tasked with managing the stadium. Through their innovation, they have ensured that Africa’s giant calabash is frequently ‘filled’ up, by hosting various sports and entertainment events. What with the record breaking attendance events such as the U2 concert and some of the Soweto derbies featuring Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates. There’s no doubt that Soccer City has become the obvious choice of sporting, showbiz and other entertainment events.
